Most franchise events follow that formula we’ve all grown used to: big-name speakers, packed schedules, and panel discussions where you sit, listen, and take notes. But what if there were no stage to gather insights from?
That’s exactly what makes Franchise Unconference different. There’s just franchisors, franchisees, and industry experts exchanging ideas, tackling challenges, and finding real solutions together in snowy Utah.
This event isn’t about passively absorbing information. It’s about active problem-solving, high-value networking, and candid discussions that cut through the fluff.
If you’re serious about networking and learning from the best, you won’t want to miss it.
Why attend the Franchise Unconference 2025
Let’s be real: the franchise industry is evolving fast, and the old playbook doesn’t always apply.
The most successful brands are the ones that stay ahead of challenges, learn from their peers, and adapt their strategies in real-time.
Franchise Unconference allows franchisors to attend workshops about growth strategies, new technologies and leadership tactics, all while experiencing Utah’s gorgeous landscapes.
Tap into collective wisdom
Got a pressing issue? Bring it to the table. Chances are, someone else has faced it and found a way through.
Break free from one-size-fits-all advice
Instead of generic presentations, discussions are driven by YOUR challenges and the insights of experienced operators. The formula to franchise success is not what you think.
Make real connections
This isn’t about quick handshakes and business card swaps. It’s about deep, strategic conversations that could reshape your franchise’s future. And a bit of skiing, if you’re into that.
If you’ve ever left a conference feeling like you only scratched the surface, this is the event that finally delivers the insights you actually need. See the full agenda here.
Maximizing Your Experience: Go in with a Plan
Because this isn’t a typical conference, you need to approach it differently as well. You won’t just sit back and listen. You’ll be part of the conversation.
It’s an “extreme networking retreat”, as they say. Here’s how to make the most of it:
Know your biggest challenges
What’s keeping you up at night? Whether it’s lead generation, franchisee engagement, or scaling operations, bring your real issues to discuss.
Be open to share and lear
The best part of this event? You’ll get insights from people who have been in your shoes. Eengage, ask questions, and contribute.
Follow up like a pro
The best ideas mean nothing if they stay in your notebook. Have a system in place for following up on insights, contacts, and new strategies you want to implement.
Industry updates, thought leadership, and solidifying relationships are all on the menu at Franchise UnConference.
A Mountain of Franchise Growth Opportunities
There was no way I could resist the pun. But unlike traditional franchise events, where speakers present polished case studies, Franchise Unconference is all about what’s working right now.
That means you’ll learn how top franchisors are generating high-quality leads without overspending on marketing.
You’ll get to hear about retention strategies that keep franchisees engaged and profitable. You’ll get to talk about the biggest roadblocks to franchise expansion and how brands are overcoming them.
No fluff, just real, battle-tested strategies from people in the industry.
